My 3-band KX1 does not always come fully on when I hit the power switch. I am plugged into external 14 VDC power. I also have the same symptoms on battery power.
Symptoms are as follows: Log lamp always works Sometimes power comes on normally with the frequency shown in the display and band noise and signals in the headphones. Sometimes when I turn it on I hear noise, but not band noise and the display remains dark. The noise right now is accompanied with a start up buzz that fades to white noise with a dark display. After a lot of power cycling when I am trouble shooting the KX1 starts up every time and the start up buzz goes away and the display works. One more symptom that is odd, I just used recall memory to tune to 7.040 MHz. I then cycled the power. The radio came up on 6.0691 MHz, it forgot the last frequency used. No matter what the prior frequency is the radio comes up at the following frequencies: 40M - 6.0691 30M - 10.1068 20M - 14.0054 The buzzing noise makes me think an electrolytic is going somewhere. I am not sure where to start, anyone have a pointer?
